OMG! What is the issue people? I was in Ocean Shores for the first time the other day. The roads are a disaster.
The roads are a disaster everywhere in this shire. The paid parking meters and the $100 annual pass can’t come soon enough, but apparently the chai latte cheapskate hippies don’t want to pay $2/week?
Do you want to pay for new axles? Or is it all about living free and easy while the tourists pay? Put the meters at Wategos too!

  1. Actually Edward its now a dollar a week or 14c a day. Its an absolute bargain.

    When the money starts flowing in, every time a road is resurfaced, footpath fixed or new toilet installed Council should put up a sign saying “This was paid for by parking meters”.
